Exclusive: Bulletproof co-creator and The Football Factory director Nick Love has set his sights on his latest crime caper — a gangster series for Sky that has echoes of his 2005 Danny Dyer film The Business.
Deadline hears that Love is returning to the world of the 1980s crime wave in Spain’s Costa del Sol for the drama, which is working titled A Town Called Malice in an apparent nod to The Jam’s hit 1982 single of the same name.
The project is housed at Bulletproof and Britannia producer Vertigo Films and a writers’ room has been developing the series for Comcast-owned Sky, although it has not yet been formally greenlit. Producers are hoping to shoot in the summer.

To mark the release of Fred on 4th June, we’ve been given 2 copies to give away on DVD.
Former London gangster Freddie Foreman is nearing the end of his life. A heavyweight villain with an unbelievably bloody past, Freddie is the last living legend of the Krays’ London underworld. A ruthless criminal, still feared and revered to this day. Freddie now lives in a retirement home: alone with only the memories of his former crimes to look back on.
With strained family relations and increasing health issues, Freddie finally tells all and revisits his old haunts in an attempt to understand what pushed him towards a life of crime. From his impoverished childhood, to traumatic memories of the Blitz and WWII, Freddie is a fascinating character study. Can a man accused of over forty murders, known as the Godfather of London, really find redemption?
